"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 737
"All the scouts are sent out, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they must find this bandit army for me. I will take their heads and pay homage to the dead brothers!"
The scouts and light cavalry of the southern army almost got on their horses amid the roar of the forward general, and galloped towards the surrounding area of ??Yangjia Town.
A quite powerful Qinghe army killed more than 1,500 of them under the nose of their scouts.
? Although the loss of more than 1,500 soldiers is nothing to the central offensive force with an army of 80,000.
But now this is the first time that Major General Luo Jing has led the army alone, and the vanguard general can already think of Major General Luo Jing's anger.
Indeed, as the forward general had expected, a messenger from the Central Command arrived soon and asked the forward general to see the major general immediately.
General Vanguard knew whether it was a blessing or a curse, and he couldn't avoid it, so he could only bite the bullet and turn around and go to the Central Army Command.
Luo Jing is very angry now, and he was beaten head-on when he led the army for the first time, and he was quite upset.
Although he had issued a sealing order not to allow the news of the annihilation of a field battalion to be spread, Luo Jing still saw the taste of ridicule in the eyes of many generals.
He relied on his father as the general of Zhennan, commanding the army in the middle, and many veterans were quite dissatisfied.
Now he was watching the jokes of his junior guy, so Luo Jing naturally felt a fire in his heart.
"How did you become a forward general!"
"Are you an idiot? The thieves are already under your noses, and you didn't realize it at all!"
Seeing the forward general arrive at his tent, the major general Luo Jing, who was simmering with anger, couldn't bear it any longer, and vented all his anger on the forward general.
After all, General Vanguard is also a general who commands more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and now he is being scolded head-on and face-to-face, and he feels aggrieved.
But they did underestimate the enemy and were beaten by the Qinghe army. At the same time, Luo Jing was the son of a general. Although he was full of grievances, he could only silently endure Luo Jing's scolding.
Their battalion-level field team suffered a devastating blow, and the forward general felt that things were too strange.
Even though the fighting power of the Qinghe Army is strong, it is estimated that at least twice as many troops are needed to destroy their battalion-level field team.
However, the intelligence showed that there was no large-scale Qinghe army in the middle of the road, which made him very suspicious of the authenticity of their intelligence.
But now General Vanguard was scolded by Major General Luo Jing. Although he doubted the authenticity of their intelligence, he didn't dare to say it because he had no evidence.
If it was said, it might be another scolding, so in the end I still didn't dare to say it.
General Vanguard was scolded by Luo Jing, and his heart was also burning with anger.
When he returned to his army, he heard the report from the scout Qingqi, and found a Qinghe army active in the northeast.
Without any hesitation, the menacing forward general immediately led his 10,000 elite infantry toward the northeast.
But when they arrived at the location reported by the scout Qingqi, they didn't see anyone except for the traces of the army camping.
?They went to the nearby villages to arrest the people to find out the situation. They heard that a Qinghe army had gone south, and they pursued it south again.
The vanguard general led the troops to toss for a day, and the scouts reported that there were enemies in the east for a while, and reported that there were enemies in the south for a while, but they never saw a single one.
"What a waste!"
Luo Jing heard that the forward general had been chasing him from east to west for a day without any results, so he couldn't help cursing.
However, General Vanguard was appointed by him. Compared with the veterans in the army, he was still one of his own, and he couldn't withdraw him, otherwise he would have no one to use.
"Major General, the information shows that there is no large-scale bandit army in the middle. Now the bandit army suddenly and forcefully attacked our battalion-level field team, but the main force did not show up and started playing hide-and-seek. I suspect that they are deliberately trying to bluff and delay The pace of our offense."
After Luo Jing learned that a battalion-level field team under the vanguard had been wiped out, he also suspected that there was a large-scale main force of the Qinghe Army nearby.
That's why he gave the order to stopGo forward, let the forward troops search for the enemy as soon as possible to find out the situation.
Now hearing what the staff said, Luo Jing also recalled it, and felt that there was some truth in it.
If they were really facing the main force of the Qinghe army, the main force of the Qinghe army should face them in an upright manner, instead of engaging in these sneaky tricks.
"I almost fell for the bandit's trick."
Luo Jing still trusted the aides his father Luo Mingyuan sent to him. After careful analysis, he felt that this must be a conspiracy by the Qinghe Army to slow down their offensive pace.
"Pass down the order, the whole army will strengthen its vigilance, and continue to move forward tomorrow, ignoring the small-scale harassment of the bandit army."
After Luo Jing determined that there were no large-scale Qinghe troops around, he believed that the Qinghe troops that attacked them were just small troops.
Although they lost a battalion of field troops, that battalion only had more than a thousand people and was not very strong. The Qinghe Army only needed to mobilize two or three thousand troops to make a successful sneak attack.
Wanting to rely on thousands of people and trying to scare them away, Luo Jing suddenly felt that the Qinghe army was a little naive, and he was not one of those people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
In fact, the Qinghe Army's tentative attack on the Southern Army's forward troops was not to scare the Southern Army.
Responsible for attacking the forward troops of the Southern Army is a banner battalion under the newly formed 20th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army.
Banner battalion commander Dong Hao is also a trainee banner battalion commander, and many of the troops under his command are formed by soldiers from the Public Security Department.
Yuan Jie ordered this newly formed unit to test the southern army. In addition to further judging the combat effectiveness of the southern army, he also wanted to see the combat effectiveness of the newly formed army.
After all, Yuan Jie, the head of the regiment, wants to concentrate his forces to fight a big battle. The only troops he has the most confidence in under his command are the 12th Banner Regiment of the Infantry and the 13th Banner Regiment of the Cavalry.
?Because the two troops are considered veteran main forces, especially when he followed him to attack the Jiangnan Province, there were hundreds of battles.
However, Yuan Jie was not sure about the combat effectiveness of the newly formed 20th Banner Regiment, 21st Banner Regiment, and 23rd Banner Regiment.
So this time, let them tentatively launch an attack on the southern army, and also want to see how their combat effectiveness is.
Fortunately, this banner battalion led by Dong Hao did not disappoint the regiment leader Yuan Jie. Although they lost more than 200 people, they also wiped out 1,500 enemies.
You must know that most of the troops led by Dong Hao are reorganized by soldiers from the Department of Public Security.
The Public Security Department of Jiangbei Province was established not long ago, and the soldiers in the Public Security Department were all recruited young and strong. They had maintained local law and order for a period of time and had no experience in fighting.
They were able to win the first battle with a small loss, which gave the regiment commander Yuan Jie a lot of confidence, and finally made up his mind to carry out a main battle, trying to wipe out the southern army's central troops in a short time.
The reason why Yuan Jie wanted to fight the main force was that, apart from accumulating experience in fighting with large corps, he also didn't want to drag the battle for too long and turn it into a war of attrition.
Now that the Qinghe army has just swallowed the Jiangnan province, it urgently needs a stable external development environment to accumulate strength.
If they engage in a protracted battle with the southern army, it will not only consume the Qinghe army's weak family fortune, but also make the Qinghe army fall into the quagmire of war and cannot get out, which will affect its development and growth. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
